— Volume is measured in cubic centimeters (centimeters cubed). The abbreviation is //cm3//.
 * Calculating Density **— Mass is measured in grams. The abbreviation is //g//.

— My Lego block has the following measurements:
 * __ An Example: __**


 * > H || 4.5 cm ||
 * L || 4 cm || 4.5 cm x 4 cm x 2 cm = || 36 cm3 ||
 * W || 2 cm ||  ||   ||
 * ** Mass ** || 18 g || ** Volume ** || ** 36 cm3 ** ||

Density = Mass ÷ Volume = 18 g ÷ 36 cm3  ** Density = 0.5 g/cm3 **
